The season's a write-off for the team, but it would be a good boost going into next season to see both Brand and Livingston back, especially Livingston considering the severity of his knee injury last season.

Thriller will also be a happy camper seeing his boy Shaun back.

"I'm definitely optimistic about it," Livingston said about playing this season. "I've got to be that. And we'll see where it takes me."
